Chapter 179: The Worst Generation, Has Arrived!!

Chapter 179: Chapter 179: The Worst Generation, Has Arrived!! Chapter 179: The Worst Generation, Has Arrived!! Five days until Ace’s public execution. In the Calm Belt, outside the impenetrable iron walls built on the seabed, Impel Down, a group of uninvited guests arrived. In the dark and deep seabed beneath Impel Down, eight dark silhouettes slowly and quietly surfaced. "The impenetrable fortress that no one has ever left alive. I can’t wait." On the deck, Kid looked up at the building surrounded by giant Sea Kings, his expression growing more and more arrogant. Killer, wearing his helmet, came to his side. "After this incident is over, your fame will rise even more, Kid. If we can make it back alive, that is." "It won’t be that easy to die, Killer." Kid gave a cold grin. "We still have to enter the New World and get the great treasure. How could we die in a place like this?" "Hehehe, is Captain Kid interested in that sort of thing too?" A voice sounded. Kid glanced sideways and saw a smaller yellow submarine approaching them. Also coated, Law stood on the deck, looking at the other with great interest. "Then it seems our alliance won’t last too long. After all... the great treasure, I can’t just hand it over." Hearing his words, the expression on Kid’s face became even more arrogant. Since setting out to sea, this was the first time he had met so many people who could pique his interest. The Straw Hat crew, and these Supernovas, none of them were pushovers. Kid had a faint premonition that they would probably have many more dealings in the future. "Now we just wait for Straw Hat-ya and his crew. I’ll ascend a bit first to scout the Marine forces. I’m afraid Impel Down is already surrounded," Law said with a grave expression as he walked into the submarine’s cabin. At the same time, directly beneath the World Government’s exclusive triangular current. A waterspout, formed by a giant hole in the seabed, gradually widened from bottom to top until it formed a massive whirlpool on the sea surface. And near the underwater vortex, a ship was following the fierce current, advancing rapidly in an arc. "The current is too strong, Nami! If this continues, the ship’s coating will be crushed!" "Just a little longer! We’re almost there!" Standing on the second-floor terrace, Nami commanded loudly. The ship shook violently, and even though she gripped the railing tightly with both hands, it was difficult to steady herself. But her gaze dared not waver, fixed firmly on the front of the ship, until they had circled the vortex for two-thirds of a lap. "Now! Full rudder to the right! Reiner! Quick, have the Super Express Shrimp help pull the ship out of the vortex!" "Coming!" In the ship’s wheelhouse, Reiner violently pulled the helm to its limit. At the same time, the Super Express Shrimp undead, gripping the ropes fixed to both sides of the Merry, frantically swung its tail, dragging the ship out of the vortex. Bang!! "Ouch!" Bang!! "So painful!" The Merry, which had been advancing rapidly in the vortex, suddenly entered calm waters. A violent jolt sent the crew sprawling. Nami knelt on the ground and struggled to lift her head. Seeing the deformed ship’s coating slowly returning to normal, she finally sighed in relief: "This way, we’ve directly entered the Calm Belt. With the Super Express Shrimp pulling us, we’ll reach Impel Down soon." "Get up." "Thanks." Walking out of the wheelhouse and pulling Nami up, Reiner looked at the fierce waterspout they had just escaped with lingering fear. "I was originally thinking of going around it; using the great whirlpool to travel, you’re really brave to even think of it." This was the seabed, over seven thousand meters deep. If the ship’s coating had ruptured, the entire crew would have been done for! "This way, it’s a bit of a shortcut, and the speed is much faster. Plus, we don’t have to worry about encountering sea beasts and Sea Kings near the vortex. Although the process was very thrilling..." Nami gave a thumbs-up, extended her index finger to make a finger gun, aimed it at him, and said with a wink, sticking out her tongue, "Anyway, it was a success!" Reiner smiled gently and ruffled her head. As expected, the Straw Hat crew doesn’t raise normal people. "Woo! Everyone, look! What a big light bulb!" On the deck, Luffy suddenly shouted, pointing a finger at the dark, deep distance. Following his gaze, a faintly glowing orb slowly approached, with a hazy black silhouette behind it. When they could see its appearance clearly, they realized it was a giant anglerfish, swimming towards them with its ferocious mouth open, revealing sharp, pointed teeth. "It’s a Sea King!" "One tooth is bigger than the Merry!" Chopper and Usopp’s faces turned pale. In contrast, Luffy was excited. "What a big fish! Let’s grill it, Sanji!" However, as soon as his voice fell, behind the mountain-sized anglerfish, an even more terrifying and massive abyssal mouth was revealed. That anglerfish wasn’t trying to eat them; it was fleeing for its life! Looking at the behemoth whose full form couldn’t even be seen, Chopper and Usopp’s legs gave out, and they knelt on the ground, dumbfounded and unable to utter a single word. "Hey, you bastard! Don’t steal our food!" Luffy, on the other hand, was indignant, winding up his arm and about to charge out! "Are you crazy, you idiot!!" Bang! A figure descended from the sky, a fist smashing directly into his head. Nami, holding a smoking fist, yelled with bared teeth, "Can’t you think before you fight! What if the ship’s coating breaks!" "Yesss~, sowwy~~," Luffy said, his face buried in the deck, a large bump on his head. The massive Sea King swallowed the anglerfish in one gulp. The current generated by its movement swept over, even pushing the Merry back several dozen meters. Reiner, with a thought, controlled the undead to pull them away quickly. "No need to fight them. We can just go. Most Sea Kings can’t outrun it." The Calm Belt was the nest of Sea Kings. If they fought every single one they encountered, they wouldn’t reach Impel Down even after fighting for three days and three nights. "That’s good," Nami said, taking out her sea chart. She studied it carefully and mused, "At this speed, we can rendezvous with them in less than half a day." Creak~~ The first-floor door opened, and Sanji walked up with a frown. "Luffy, we’ve received a message from the others. The forces currently deployed at Impel Down are more exaggerated than we imagined." Hearing Sanji’s words, the others gathered around and sat in a circle on the spot. "Outside Impel Down right now, there are over a dozen warships docked, all of the highest-spec." "More than a Buster Call?!" Hearing this news, Robin couldn’t help but frown. "To be able to lead that spec of warship, the commanders must be at least Rear Admiral rank or higher. I’m afraid there will be Vice Admirals there too." "There will be a few, probably. But it also depends on which Vice Admirals they are. In comparison, I’m more wary of Impel Down’s warden, Magellan," Reiner said in a low voice. Robin had already sorted through the information on Impel Down, so everyone had a basic understanding of Magellan. It was hard to imagine that the warden of the great underwater prison was a man who only worked four hours a day. Reiner had a relatively better understanding of the other’s strength. Luffy, Blackbeard, Buggy – Magellan had taken down three future Yonko by himself! His battle record was god-tier! His strength was probably not on par with Akainu, Aokiji, and Kizaru, as those were, as far as Reiner knew, the three strongest admirals in terms of performance. But he was probably very close. Mainly, Magellan’s Doku Doku no Mi ability was very tricky. Touching it meant waiting for death, a complete counter to close-range fighters. In their plan, stealing the antidote was a very important part. It was fine for Reiner to fight with his undead, but if the others were affected, it would be troublesome. No matter how skilled Chopper’s medical arts were, he couldn’t develop an antidote on the spot. "After the attack begins, Reiner, you should conserve your stamina as much as possible. That poison-using warden is too much of a counter to the others. You’ll have to be the one to deal with him then," Sanji suggested. Just pulling the ship with the undead had already consumed a lot of stamina. Reiner would need to recuperate first and recover his stamina before anything else. The group chatted for a while. Around noon, they arrived at the seabed beneath Impel Down. Kid, Law, and the others who had arrived earlier were waiting there as promised. Reiner used dozens of fish-man undead to search and rendezvous with all the captains. Each of them was encased in a small bubble and came directly to the Merry. In this temporary alliance, all of them were of equal status, but the operations were still primarily led by the Straw Hat crew. Because Luffy wanted to save Ace, they were the crew least likely to desert. The alliance was also proposed by Reiner to bring them in. Therefore, the others trusted giving the command to Sanji, who had excellent command abilities. Inside the first-floor cabin, a group of country bumpkins who had never seen the world marveled at the bar that was like an entire aquarium, their faces filled with envy and jealousy. We’re all out here being pirates!! By what right do you guys get to live so comfortably!! "Hey! Is this how you treat guests? Not even preparing any food!" Bonney shouted with dissatisfaction, her envy and jealousy having turned into anger. Unfortunately for her, someone fell for it. "It’s Miss Bonney~~, I’ll go prepare some food right away~~!" Sanji’s tone was exaggerated. He cupped his hands, his eyes turned into hearts, and his body twisted as he floated towards the kitchen. "Wait, the one commanding us on the Den Den Mushi was this thing?!" Apoo was dumbfounded. "Can your crew get any more unreliable!" Reiner: We can. Hawkins’s face darkened. "I feel like I’ve made a very absurd decision." "Ahem, let’s get back to business. We’ve compiled the standard troop deployment information for Impel Down. Take a look first," Reiner said, distributing several documents. As they looked through them in detail, he synced them up on the formulated plan. "...That’s about it. When the Blue Gorillas that hunt around Impel Down return, Law’s submarine will begin to surface. All other ships will remain underwater. Are there any other problems?" Kid: "I have no problem." Drake: "To be able to gather so much intelligence, I’m starting to suspect you have a mole in the Marines." "Then let’s proceed according to the plan." Law put down the documents in his hand and picked up the cursed sword Kikoku beside him. "Everyone, get ready and head over to my side." The other captains also stood up one by one and turned their heads to look at the figure at the end of the long table, surrounded by his crewmates. Luffy’s expression turned serious. He subconsciously tipped the brim of his hat down and said with determination, "Let’s set out!!" Impel Down has a total of seven levels. One level is above the sea, which has no cells and is just for receiving people. The first to fifth underground floors are the five-faced hells, where the importance of the prisoners increases from top to bottom. And the lowest level, [Infinite Hell], houses major criminals who are so heinous that they have been erased from history. The cruel incidents they committed were so severe that even the World Government had to cover them up. On the first floor above the sea, several guards were on duty at the prison entrance. Gurgle gurgle~~ Suddenly, clumps of dark shadows appeared on the sea surface. Then, with a series of splashes, the Blue Gorillas broke through the water surface one after another, each carrying an axe and dragging a huge chunk of meat. "The Blue Gorillas are back." "Thank you for your hard work. A bountiful harvest again today." The guards greeted them happily. It was because of their existence that this underwater prison never lacked food. The Blue Gorillas shook the water from their bodies and walked inside, dragging the chopped-up Sea King segments. From the first floor above sea level, they took an elevator down to the fourth underground floor, the Blazing Hell, where the Warden’s office and the kitchen were located. Not long after the Blue Gorillas left, the guards at the entrance continued their watch, staring boredly at the sea surface. The sea was as calm as ever. Their job here was just to receive Marines escorting prisoners over. Gurgle gurgle~~ Suddenly, a large number of bubbles rose from the sea surface again. A dark shadow slowly emerged, attracting the attention of the several guards. "Hmm? What’s going on?" "Well, probably a Blue Gorilla that got left behind." "But, don’t you think it’s a bit big?" As the dark shadow slowly grew larger, the several guards also began to feel that something was not right. The next moment. Splash!! A yellow submarine broke through the water’s surface, stirring up a huge wave that crashed onto the shore! "Th-this is!" "Unidentified vessel! Is it an enemy attack!!" "Someone’s coming out!!" Several guards shouted in panic. From the ship that had emerged from the seabed, a group of ferocious-looking figures poured out of the cabin! On the two warships docked on either side of the entrance, many soldiers were also drawn by the huge commotion and cast their gazes down. Compared to the jailers who had been stationed at the great prison all along, the Marines obviously recognized the pirate ship and the people on it at a glance! "It’s the Heart Pirates’ ship!" "No! There’s more! That’s Straw Hat Luffy!!" An officer scanned the area and immediately discovered a large number of familiar figures above. "Black Snake Reiner! Roronoa... the entire Straw Hat crew is here!" "Turn the cannons!!" "And Captain Kid! Mad Monk Urouge! It’s all the Supernovas!!" Looking at the figures lined up in a ’V’ formation on the deck below, the Marines, after their shock, immediately began to react. "Prepare to engage!!" However, how could they be faster than the pirates who had come prepared? "Bege!!" "I know! Full firepower, men!!" Bege shouted, a cigar clenched in his teeth. With a cry from Sanji, a large number of ports immediately opened on his body! Bang! Bang! Bang! A dense barrage of cannonballs was instantly unleashed. The wealthy him started with a full-coverage salvo! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! The massive warships, only a few dozen meters away on either side, were unavoidable. Cannonballs directly exploded on their hulls! Balls of fire accompanied by thick smoke marked the first-ever attack on Impel Down! "Let’s go, everyone! Let’s see who gets in first!!" Luffy grinned and was the first to leap towards the entrance of the great underwater prison. Kid shouted with dissatisfaction and followed, "Don’t order me around, you bastard! And don’t run ahead of me!" Watching the two of them competing over who could enter the door first, Reiner shook his head and sighed: "If there’s any flaw in the plan, it’s probably these two idiots." "Truly worthy of sympathy, Black Snake-ya." "Well, it’s good to be mentally prepared for this." Law and Zoro’s lips curved up. They drew their longswords and leaped up after them. Thump. Someone patted his shoulder from behind. "Let’s go, Reiner. We’re going too," Nami smiled faintly and walked past him, a flash of lightning as she flew over. Following her were figures with soaring fighting spirit, continuously rushing past him towards the entrance of Impel Down! The Worst Generation, has arrived!!
